Quote:Why don't we let them judge when Bortles is ready to start instead of deciding they're wrong and he should be playing?

 

 

 

Quote:People are allowed to have opinions. If Dave and Gus would say that they want Blake to sit to develop better habits is one thing. But sitting him and insisting Chad gives them a better chance to win is completely baffling. Its obvious Blake is the better QB right now. Thats the only frustrating thing. 

 

 

Quote:Gus preaches competition. And Bortles has severely outplayed Henne during the preseason.

 

I think the frustration for most fans is simply not knowing where the goalpost is. It's not so much a question of criticizing their judgement,as it is frustration over the unknown criteria in the decision process.  I, for one, would love to hear an answer to one simple question;

 

What does Bortles need to do to start?

1)  Outperform Henne?

2)  Improve his footwork/mechanics?  If so, by how much?

3)  Sit for a predetermined amount of time regardless of how rapidly or to what extent he improves?
